Thank you for the kind words. I am sure I will eventually be doing better.
It's still pretty tough right now, but I'm getting stronger. I will not be in touch with her for awhile.
She contacted me last week and asked if I would mind taking care of the dog while she went away (I love this dog so so much and raised him from a puppy with her for 3 years). I immediately knew that she was going to see her new guy who lives an hour flight away. As much as I would love to spend time with the dog, and do her a favour, I obviously said no. There's no way on earth I'm going to dog-sit for her while she's away with him. So now that I know she's spending the week with him, it's all I can think about.
Sometimes the mind can be your worst enemy.
